Marataba Reserve is a private concession within the limits of Marakele National Park. Only guests lodged at camps within the limits of the Marataba Reserve are allowed to explore this area of the national park, making for an exclusive and private safari experience. This activity is available all year round.

The safaris take place at dawn and dusk when the animals are most active. The duration is around 3-4 hours for each safari. It can vary based on daylight hours and wildlife sightings.

You depart for a safari after breakfast and return around noon. There is some free time after lunch. A 4x4 vehicle takes you on safari again in the afternoon with your guide. You return to the camp at sunset and just in time for a pre-dinner snack. This is an example of a full-day 4×4 safari. However, depending on the number of nights you will spend at the camp, other activities may be scheduled and therefore each day may be different, and the activities and timetables may vary.
